9.3 Rights and Obligations

The rights-holder's bundle: the exclusive economic rights (the copying, using, marking monopolies of each kind); the moral rights (copyright's paternity-and-integrity); the transfer rights (assignment, licensing — the recorded transactions); the enforcement rights (the remedies of 9.4). The obligations (the balance the exam must show): the disclosure obligation (patent — the invention's publication as the grant's price); the working/use obligations (the non-use cancellation of marks; the compulsory-licence exposure); the term limits (all IP is temporary — the public domain's tribute); the competition-law interface (the licensing's anti-competitive conditions void — the IP/competition boundary); the users' public interests (the exceptions and limitations as the public's rights). The state's obligations: the registration system's administration (the DOI, the Copyright Registrar); the border measures (Customs); the enforcement machinery (the courts, the police); the treaty obligations (TRIPS' floors).
